I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Milestone

    Today I am  driving my daughter 50 miles from home to a Girl Scout camp. It is her first "sleepaway" camp experience. Our local council does not have a camp, nor is anyone from her troop attending this camp, so she will be meeting other Brownies from mostly the western suburbs of Chicago.

    She is excited. I am nervous. And excited, too. But mostly nervous.

    I'd be nervous! It's probably good for her, but I'd be nervous!

    Ooh - I'd also be nervous and excited but mostly nervous! I'm dreading James entering Grade 4 - his school sends them on a camp at the beginning of the year. eek.
